I wonder if they are just excessively Photoshopped or if they really look like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watcher Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 This was updated a while ago and I should receive one after the weekend to see if it is as crap in reality! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Josh is different than the other dealers, I'm hoping you get a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Is Josh giving a discount for the seemingly useless "1:1" bracelet that he has pictured with the watch? I look forward to pics from community members accurately showing just how freaking awful this POS is IRL. I am so angry at them for labeling this 1:1. Epic fail... Edit: And yes Josh is a great person, I am not discounting him as a dealer. This is a criticism of his product.

duke1973 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I sure hope you don't get the "new and improved" model that I got from Josh..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I've been buying from Josh for a long time but he's acting more and more like a scam site. Seems like every new watch he advertises is now "1:1, made from gen". I personally think that he and all the other dealers that are now doing this should be put on probation until they quit with all the lying and B. S. Forums were founded to stop this kind of nonsense from dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I agree. All the dealers know a good rep vs a bad one. Maybe us geeks should have separate web sites that cater to only the very high end reps. The current web sites cater to a mass market.

Seems like every new Rolex model that's come out lately on his site is 1:1 with "geniune watch dissected and used as sample" or "Best rep available" yeah right, this is getting old FAST!

duke1973 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I was just looking at the "new" SD on Trusty's site. They still list the SSD of old on their site too, after looking at the "old" pictures of the SSD listing I'm pretty sure they are using the old SSD product pictures for the NEW crappy rehaut SD.... Not the QC pics but the thumbnail pics for the new SD... These also look like the EXACT same thumbnail pics that Josh is using on his Perfect Clones site to advertise the new SD too??

Prsist Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 This was updated a while ago and I should receive one after the weekend to see if it is as crap in reality! Did it arrive yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke1973 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Did it arrive yet? Been away for while? The reason I ask is because it DID arrive and Watcher did an excellent review and then tear-down in which he eventually polished the rehaut and installed a aftermarket Clark's crystal. Search for posts from "watcher" are you'll find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prsist Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke1973 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Watchers review was an excellent read! He reviewed the watch then tore it down and installed gen and aftermarket parts on it making it really nice. I'm off to work now but I'll dig up the thread later tonight and link it here for you.

watcher Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yeah I fitted a gen crystal and better insert, better rep crown that was thinner in profile and reworked the CG's. Made a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePimp Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 As a noob to the rep market (only 6 months and 3 watches into this) i find the previous comments off great concern. This forum lists Trusted Dealers, yet the comments raised here seem to question their quality, I have purchased 2 watches from Josh with no complaints.........am I now to question his integrigty as a dealer? If so, it doesnt leave us with much scope for alternative trusted dealers. Am somewhat confussed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Am somewhat confused!! Trusted dealers will send you the watch you buy and take care of any quality issues you may encounter. You have to read through the descriptions carefully, tho, and understand what is a half-truth and what is the real truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or overall flaws in the watch that make it "not 1:1" as advertised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 If they say 1:1 and it is not, it's considered a "little white lie" and not a serious matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
